As travelers flock to Downtown NYC, AKA Wall Street is a top extended stay option

The Big Apple has and will always be a top leisure and business travel destination. No other city can boast Billy Joel, Frank Sinatra, Taylor Swift, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys all singing about its magnetism. Throughout the years, NYC, specifically Lower Manhattan (or Downtown NYC), continues to grow as a destination for tourists and business travelers.

According to the Alliance for Downtown New York, 2017 saw an eight percent increase in tourists visiting Lower Manhattan from the previous year, at approximately 13.6 million visitors. Downtown NYC continues to invest in new attractions, including the Oculus and Brookfield Place.
